Biochemistry Task 4 00046260

A.
1. Two features that make all enzymes catalysts are that they increases the rate in chemical reaction without being used or modified and the thermodynamic properties of the reaction do not change (Hudon-Miller, 2012).

4. The first two steps of fructose metabolism in the liver is fructose is broken down by fructokinase into fructose -1-phosphate substrate and then Aldolase B converts fructose-1-phostpate into DHAP-glyeraldehyde product. At this step, it can go into glycolysis and make ATP or gluconegenesis to eventually make glycogen (Hudon-Miller, 2012).

NADH will donate an electron to complex one and become NAD+. FAD2 will donate its electron to complex 2 and becomes FAD. Coenzyme Q accepts electrons from complex to 1 and 2 and donates to complex 3. Then complex 3 will transport its electron using the protein cytochrome C to complex 4. That electron will go to oxygen and form water as its product. Complex1, 3, and 4 in the process of transferring electrons will pump out Hydrogen ions to the other side of membrane. Lots of hydrogen ions are made and need to go somewhere where there is not a lot of them. ATP synthase will allow these hydrogen ions to go to the matrix in a controlled manner. The energy from these hydrogen ions will aid ADP and phosphate to make ATP. The formation of ATP in this process is called oxidative phosphorylation. The energy used in NADH and FAD2 is used to form the proton gradient (Sanders, 2013).

Biochemistry is the study of how chemical work involving things in this case (humans). Biochemistry emerged as a separate discipline when scientist combined biology with organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry. http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/careers/whatchemistsdo/careers/biochemistry.htm/
Depression is a form of sorrow. When you don’t care for anything or anyone. There are different types of medicine that treat depression. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are some of the first antidepressants…

Biochemistry Task 5
Shannon Alford
Lipid Storage Molecule Conversion to ATP
Lipids (also known as fats) are nonpolar, insoluble molecules gained within the body trough digestion of food. Triglycerides, a type of lipid that serve as storage units for energy have 3 fatty acid chain tails made up of carboxylic acid and a fatty carbon chain attached to a glycerol backbone. These molecules can be saturated or unsaturated contingent on the bond types and hydrogen number in the molecule. Anytime a fatty…

1. Describe two important features that make all enzymes catalysts .
A catalyst is a substance which can accelerate the rate of a chemical reaction without going through a chemical change itself. Enzymes are proteins which help accelerate the rate of reactions. Enzymes also lower activation energy without being used. (Hudon­Miller 2012) After and enzyme and substrate bind it converts the…

HIV: Biochemistry and Pathogenicity
Since the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was discovered in 1983 by Francoise BarrÃ¨-Sinoussi and colleagues (reviewed by Weiss, 2013) an estimated 70 million people have been infected with this retrovirus (WHO, 2013). Of these, close to half have died of the clinical manifestation of the infection called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Although tremendous progress has been made, including accurate testing of patients and donated blood, development…

What is Biochemistry and why you should study it?
Biochemistry or sometimes we called it as biological chemistry is defined as a scientific study of
the chemistry of living organisms, especially the structure, the behavior of a living thing and the function of their chemical component such as proteins ,carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Many of these molecules are complex molecules called polymers, which are made up of monomer subunits. Most people consider biochemistry to be same with…

Running head: BIOCHEMISTRY TASK 4 1
A1.
Enzymes increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being altered in the process of the
reaction (Hudon­Miller, 2013). Enzymes also lower activation energy without altering the
chemical reaction or products (Hudon­Miller, 2013).…

Biochemistry GRT 1 Task 4 -Case Studies
Marie Marks
Western Governors University
Introduction
The two case studies given both involve in the processes of making energy that the body needs to maintain and sustain life. Each case is a different diagnosis but they both have some involvement in the production of ATP and other products when creating energy. If someone has an issue with the production of energy it is hard to maintain life in the body. The body has many different enzymes that are…
